Saab is soon to fly the next two Gripen E prototypes, which are being equipped with new systems thanks to a segregated avionics architecture.
The first Gripen E flew over Sweden’s Baltic coastline during its first flight with weapons pylons installed. It also carried iris-T air-to-air missiles on the wingtip launch rails. The new-generation Gripen is on schedule to enter service next year with Sweden and Brazil.
